Re: Thought For The Day
Thanks Mohan for those lines by Swami Vivekananda
Hey Tanisha where are u!
Here is a story not really a Quote.
A Swami was having a conversation with Lord Shiva one day and said.
'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.
Lord Shiva led the Swami to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the Swami looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the Swami's mouth water. The people sitting! around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was much longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The Swami shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
Lord Shiva said, 'You have seen Hell.'
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The Swami said, 'I don't understand.'
'It is simple,' said Lord Shiva.'
'It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'
When God created the world, He was thinking of you.
Remember to always always share your spoon!

Prayer is not a spare wheel that you pull out when YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, It is a steering wheel that keeps you on the right path throughout your life.

"Smooth roads never make good drivers!
Smooth sea never makes good sailors! Clear Skies never make good pilots!
Problem free life never makes a strong & good person!
Be strong enough to accept the challenges of life.
Don’t ask Life “Why me?”
Instead say “Try Me!”

The water from the Whole Sea can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.
Similarly,
The entire Negativity of the World can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.

“There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.”

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.
